What do 'a' and 'b' represent in the following population growth curve?
Options
- A'a' represents exponential growth when responses are not limiting the growth; and 'b' represents logistic growth when responses are limiting the growth.
- B'a' represents logistic growth when responses are not limiting the growth; 'b' represents exponential growth when responses are limiting the growth.
- C'a' represents carrying capacity and 'b' shows logistic growth when responses are limiting the growth.
- D'a' represents exponential growth when responses are not limiting the growth and 'b' shows carrying capacity.
Correct answer
A. 'a' represents exponential growth when responses are not limiting the growth; and 'b' represents logistic growth when responses are limiting the growth.
Step-by-step solution
The given graph represents the population growth curve where 'a' represents exponential growth when responses are not limiting the growth which forms a -shaped curve and 'b' represents logistic growth when responses are limiting the growth which forms an S-shaped curve.
